Mackrick, you sly devil!

But then again, I suppose foot photos
are right up your alley.....

Thank you for bothering with us peasants!

We are thoroughly unworthy, though....

I think it's that old Top Gear/Richard Hammond trick of standing on a BOX! ;)

Well that's obvious judging by the size of the hole and the fact it's not wearing a red stiletto. :D

I hope it's not too inflammatory and I hope that certain people wont completely misunderstand it like they did with the last one.

it was a very worthwhile visit yesterday :ymapplause:

there's no doubt that Taff & Co have done a superb job setting up at Lyneham - 558 is most definitely in the best hands possible

their coffee's nice too :D

MacNaddy, God is not blonde, he is far too clever, ergo must be brunette or very grey :))

Glad you got to visit at last SM, unfortunately couldn't be there to say Hi, tied up at Hinckley. Been doing audits to make sure the Logistics, Engine and Avionic Bays are all set up and functioning OK. That is so we can show the CAA all is ready to support MA/TVOC work at the start of Winter Maintenance and they can re-instate the MA M5, which was temporarily suspended, following our move out of Brunty.

Hopefully, good news on the visiting front may be in the offing, so hope to see some of you Southerners once I am down there permanent for the Winter Maintenance and flying Ops. Can't wait to be at it :D

Maybe we can arrange a bikers visit during the season. :D
